No Deal Before March, But MMRCA Lowest Bidder “Soon”: Minister

The Indian M-MRCA fighter deal won’t be signed before the financial year draws down, Indian defence minister AK Antony told reporters in Delhi today, but confirmed that the lowest bidder would be declared “soon”. It had been near certain that the results of the toss-up between bids by Dassault and EADS would be announced this month, though it now appears to have slipped into February. Stay tuned for more details.

I say iaf should go with rafale as it is a much better multirole than typhoon. Moreover it has some commonality with mirage so our guys at hal would find it easier to absorb all the tech in rafale and produce all the rafales much before they can produce typhoon(extremely beneficial for squadron strength).Also we will use in the future super su 30mki and fgfa for air superiority roles.
